AI中文摘要：
我们使用分子动力学（MD）模拟研究等离子体中带电尘埃二聚体的自组织，重点关注位置和取向排序。对于由径向电场限制的有限数量的二聚体，随着粒子数增加，系统从简单排列演变为环状结构。这些环呈现出不同的取向状态，反映了空间限制和取向自由度之间的强耦合。在周期性边界条件下研究的更大系统中，出现了具有耦合位置和取向相关性的块状行为。结果突出了各向异性在确定平衡结构中的重要性，并表明取向有序在具有异形粒子的复杂等离子体中与位置有序起着同样关键的作用。这项工作为涉及异形尘埃粒子的实验研究提供了动力，以探索超越传统球形尘埃粒子系统的取向有序现象。
英文摘要：
We investigate the self-organization of charged dust dimers in plasma using Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations, with emphasis on both positional and orientational ordering. For a finite number of dimers confined by a radial electric field, the system evolves from simple arrangements to ring-like structures as the particle number increases. These rings exhibit diverse orientational states, including radial, transverse, and mixed alignments of the dimer axis, reflecting a strong coupling between spatial confinement and orientational degrees of freedom. For larger systems studied under periodic boundary conditions, bulk-like behavior emerges with coupled positional and orientational correlations. The results highlight the significance of anisotropy in determining equilibrium structures and demonstrate that orientational order plays a crucial role alongside positional ordering in complex plasmas with shaped particles. This work provides motivation for experimental studies involving shaped dust particles to explore orientational ordering phenomena beyond conventional spherical dust particle systems.
